Hello all,
this is an story about my Mk1 estate Cortina. I bought this car end of -90. Below should be photo just after I bought it.
First plan was to restore it as original as possible. I started by welding the rear end.
At some point I opened the original engine. It was at very good condition. The seller told that engine has new pistons and bearings and so it was. After new paint engine looked like this
After that I had some other Ford project and other things. This summer I wound this Cortina again and an litlle plan change. Inside my trailer looks like this.
There is Volvo rear axle, sierra mt75 transmission and body part ( you know the thing over thansmission and some other ford parts. Engine is easy to move it has four tires.
1,8 Mondeo 115hp silver top and running quite well. I have 2,0 camshaft and ecu. So there should be few hp more after those parts.
Here is photo about the rear suspension. These are Passat parts
Now the car is at garage and waiting for fitting the Volvo rear axle. In Finland we have strict regulations so I need to use for examble Volvo original support arms so hopefully those Volvo parts fits somehow to cortine frame. It is allowed weld new brackets to frame at least
